Research Assistant
Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, MIT
Advisor: Dina Katabi
Worked on multiple projects related to wireless networks:
2012-Present
• Distributed Multi-User MIMO: Designe and implemention (on FPGA) the full physical
layer of an 802.11n compatible transceiver that is capable of performing Distributed MultiUser MIMO beam-forming.
• LTEye: LTEye is the first open platform to throw light into the LTE radio layer, without
operator support. It discovers the locations of users in the network as well as their service
quality. LTEye also found deficiencies in production AT&T and Verizon networks, including
unprecedented inter-cell interference and inefficient usage of expensive licensed spectrum.
• Hardware Implementation for the Sparse Fourier Transform Algorithm: Design,
ASIC implemention and fabrication (IBMs 45nm SOI technology), for an energy efficient
0.75 million point sparse Fourier transform.
• Fully synthesizable All Digital PLL: Design, ASIC implemention and fabrication (IBMs
45nm SOI technology), for a fully synthesizable All Digital PLL. The whole design is implemented in verilog.

Summer Intern
2015
Intel Hudson MA, New Devices Group (NDG)
Advisors: Mondira Pant (Mandy), and Yang Xue (Sharon)
Worked on developing and demonstrating an indoor localization algorithm using WiFi signals. The
platform consisted of an Intel WiFi card attached to Intel Galileo board to act as a user device.
And the system used the CSI feedback from the WiFi card to find the location of the user device
without any collaboration from the Access Points.
Full Year Intern

2009-2010
Project 1 Advisor: Tanay Karnik
Worked on the design and implementation of a low power speech recognition engine.
Project 2 Advisors: Frank OMahony, and Bryan Casper
Worked on digital calibration for High-Speed I/O circuits, was responsible for both the interface
and programming of an on-chip microcontroller that is used for calibration. And preparing a
MATLAB/ModelSim Co-Simulation environment for the calibration system.
